TO THOMAS WENTWORTH HIGGINSON

New York, Nov. 28, 1881.

Your kind note of the 26th inst. has just reached me. Frankly, I have never taken any part in the Woman Suffrage movement. It is a mistake that I was intending to go to Kansas when the subject was under discussion there, and I could not possibly be in Boston on the 10th or 11th of January.

Will you not visit New York some time this winter? If so, I hope you will let me know of it. I should be very happy to see you here.
